Greg , if you look under his last post it tells when posted in ghost grey small print.

We have been having issues with dealers using their customers money on other things then their customers call us saying they ordered wheels 8 months ago, then they put the blame on us so we feel like the bad guy and end up pushing their wheels through. I guess it's a good thing we manufacture our own wheels so were not in the same boat. :P :patriot:

alright , im going to give you some of my story here..I have just found this thread after looking to see if driverz has been posting.. I am one of the customers who was caught up in the fikse/driverz dramas a few months back,, i waited over 10 months for my rims after numerous promises that they were ready to ship.. I dropped good money up front (10 months earlier) and waited and waited.. i had No contact until i made my frustration public by way of this forum.Then i got offered a deal to change to forgelines as mine hadnt been built yet after 10 months !. i was promised a fast turnaround of 4/5 weeks.. 2 months later i got my 'forgeline'wheels. i sold them a soon as they arrived as it left a 'bad taste' in my mouth.. so now without rims for my camaro i ordered a new set of american racers cl205s with who i thought was Jon ,, but i had a reply from a guy name 'travis'??? so ok i do some searching and see that he is the new owner.. so i order my rims ,, pay 'up front' and off we go again. 2 months go by and i send an email,, and i get a reply from Jon??? he says 'big dramas here' your wheels are ready .. so i wait a week and send another email (im in australia) so are the wheels there ? yes there here ready to ship but' we will be doing the goodguys show on weekend so dont be upset if i dont reply for a while?????
so now im not sure what to make of all this. Ive sent 2 emails this week with no response? Is goodguys been and gone? was he there setup? any suggestions guys , its hard as im downunder and i need some rims or my money back !!!.. Jon if you read this please reply and settle these issues as what im reading on forums is not creating any confidence in your customers.

Gav

Hey man I feel your pain, but curious as to why you ordered the second set off essentially the same crowd that dicked you around the first time?

Have you paid by paypal/cc? I'd pull the pin and raise a dispute ASAP.

Hope it all works out for ya

I paid by credit card in Jan this year so not sure what i can do,, Ill wait this week out and see what happens, then ill take it further.

Just be aware beyond 90 days any cc charge may be more difficult to chase up, you might be getting close to that 90 days now.

Shouldn't be too much issue re-stocking an off the shelf set of wheels too.

Google "american racing custom wheels" and I got this + a few more leads...

Bottom line is no one should buy New Gen wheels or any wheel from Driverz Inc.
Jon may be a cool guy to hang out with at a bar but

Tired of cool guy good guy phrases, it's just bs. If you steal, your a thief and your fingers should be cut off, next offense, your hands. My world, it's black and white, there's no such thing as a nice guy thief. You break into my house at night to steal, I'm not going to offer you a beer and chat to find out if your a good guy.

Sorry, the comment wasn't directed at your comment specifically. Just to many people sticking up for vendors that keep coming up short. I don't know about everyone else but my success w/many of the vendors I've pretty much done business w/here has been less than impressive. I'm just thankful I've got a good percentage of my money back.
